88 force 85 HP lower unit (yoke)

[wannabeboater]

Hey yall,<br />when taking the lower unit off to replace water pump/impeller the yoke came unclipped from the gear shift pin, and the gear shift coupling. I was able to get the yoke out, but now I'm unable to re-clip everything back together. Any hints on how to achieve this? Any help would be great.<br /><br />Thanks.

When my shift piviot screw was removed and the yoke fell the whole lower unit had to be taken apart to put the yoke back on the coupler correctly. It was time consuming, but easy. We had the manual for step by step instructions. It also gave us a good look at the gears to make sure everything was how it should be. You will need new seals. I hope that might help.
